Space observations are needed to study air quality on urban, regional, and super regional scales. Of particular importance is the ability to differentiate air pollution from natural and anthropogenic sources. Observations are needed for key air pollutant constituents in the troposphere such as ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and aerosols. An instrument suite has been designed that is capable of making these observations at urban scales on a global basis. The Space Station provides a practical platform to make these observations with the following capabilities: 51 degree inclination covers nearly all of the world's industrial regions; changing local observing time allows study of diurnal variation of chemically active atmospheric constituents; and serviceability which will afford an opportunity for precise instrument calibration updates needed for detecting long term changes in air quality.
